Refs have different rules for season and playoffs. This should be impossible so going by this, rules can be interpreted differently day by day.

Thats Bennett's take too: "[I'm] putting that puck in before Swayman's going to be able to get over whether Coyle is on him or not, so I think that's the reason why it stood. And that's how I saw it, as well."

Even if Swayman can't make a play, which I think he could have, Coyle couldn't clear the puck because of the push, it happened before the puck was there. There was no way Swayman could move freely with Bennets action....

It had no effect. Are we playing chess or checkers? Bennet barely touches him and Coyle looses his balance...

@zachhaist6426 except he wasn't pushed. He was barely touched and Coyle flopped backwards. Give me a break

Hehehe, Toronto's revenge!

Toronto taking revenge

They should take the review center out of NA

Regardless the Bruins have no shot. "As a Bruins fan" they don't have enough talent or depth. They've been outplayed in both series and only saved by Swayman's amazing play.

someone needs to bring this up. these dogwater refs will continue to keep cashing cheques somewhere between 225K-400k a year... that's absurd for skating around and completely trashing some games

I wish people would actually learn the rules.Quit saying the referees made bad calls.This was the nhl that made this call in toronto not the officials on the ice.

@@SolidRizoit’s systemic. It’s not a ref problem. It’s an NHL problem that tells the refs to be this way. They’re just doing the job they get paid to do and if you’re mad about leeches sucking up money they haven’t earned, you should be mad at NHL owners who think they somehow deserve nearly half the entire league revenue for doing nothing but being wealthy enough to buy the team in the first place. I have no respect for people who think passive income is something they’re entitled to. You shouldn’t either. That’s the real reason shit is the way it is.

no, the review center said they let the two refs decide... then they agreed it was a good goal... so, it IS the refs fault

So if the refs on the ice see it differently, as in the correct way, they cannot make the correct call?

@@charliegordon-qh2ll Not when it literally wasn't, the NHL rulebook says no matter the contact whether a light shove or not this should not be a good goal

Not only were the refs given final say on this one by Toronto, but they also didn't call the blatant crosscheck. This should have been a two minute minor and a disallowed goal. This coming on the heels of the goaltender interference call against Boston two games ago which was very clearly not because it was caused by Florida and the host of "missed" calls like Bennett clearly punching Marchand, and there's no way you can claim the league isn't pushing Florida through. Better team or not, the officiating of this series is a stain on the Panthers and the league.

@@WhiteNoise493 i dont even care for the minor penalty. Wouldve been a little weak imo and im a bruins fan. Just definitely shouldnt have been a goal. Wild call

​@@Stacey_-bf2mbi think thats part of the problem. There are certain calls like puck over glass that have to be called everytime. But yet punching a guy in the face knocking him out is somehow missed. And not even adressed after the game with all the camera views available. One play a team gets an unfair stoppage and is penalized and the other leaves a guy, arguably their best player, concussed out for at least a game and not even a minor penalty.

Make Sports Betting Illegal Again

Not a Bruins fan (or a Panthers' fan), in fact I want them to lose. However, they got seriously hosed on this call. The rule seems to be clear on how to adjudicate this play, and the League, for whatever reason, didn't call it that way.

@@larrycopeland2413 Because Vegas would've been mad they lost money had the Bruins won. That's why. Legal sports betting is ruining not just the NHL, but all professional sports. At this point there's no reason to watch games anymore. Just look at the odds and you'll find out who's winning.

Rule 69.7 states an exception

Yah, because Boston was WELL on their way to shooting more than 2 shots in the period… If that was a crosscheck, it would have been the weakest one called ever. Was poor footing and a tiny bump, mixed with a touch of bad luck. Boston could have just let the game be tied and not challenge and risk another penalty, but then they may have had to have had confidence that they would….you know…shoot the puck and maybe get another goal?

I am not denying that we are getting out played, and I won’t deny it. Our team rarely challenges any goals, we have a damn good video team and they wouldn’t have challenged it if they were damn sure there was something there. If you can’t see how a goal that shouldn’t have counted late in the game being allowed, causing yet another penalty kill for our team after we had just killed one off of a weak interference call isn’t a momentum swinger then I can’t help you.

I have not watched a full hockey season since like 2018 (watched 2019 finals bruins fan) but last seasons team got me back into hockey this year and the NHL might make me go back to not watching due to this playoffs. round 1 was poorly called but I felt like it affected both sides but you could argue the it was straight down the middle or slightly in favor of Boston but I would say it was poorly officiated but fair round 1 round 2 is poorly officiated but blatantly for 1 side but the fact that 2-2 series I have watched have had blatant missed calls that matter deflates me as a sports fan whether they are for or agents my team

I’m a bruins fan you can’t stand the bruins because you lose to them always. I have no issues with the leafs. I’m a hockey fan and a good hockey game is a a good hockey game.

Bennett's signature hockey play

indeed

It's funny (being sarcastic) . It's almost like the n.h.l is slowly becoming an entertainment league ... Oh wait , that's what it is "legally"

Right? Biz was insisting up and down that bennett punched marchand with his right hand but they kept showing the angle from behind bennett, so i'm just thinking "wtf is biz on about". But they wait until the pre-game today to finally show the reverse angle that actually shows it. So weird

The league has been in the bag for Florida for years now. First it was Tampa not the Panthers - Florida is a huge market the league desperately wants to grow in, so they treat them with kid gloves and this is yet another perfect example

​@@casmatt99as if being able to functionally ignore the salary cap because of state tax laws wasn't already OP enough

They're constantly holding and interfering with Bruins players but aren't getting called for it!? It's absolutely fucking ridiculous!!?

Welcome to playing florida in the playoffs. It's just getting started!

They get away with everything and any goal they score the challenges always fail but they challenge for the same thing and get the goal overturned

No boo-hoo'ing when your team has the likes of Brad Marchand on your roster.

Which is a reasonable conclusion when the league blows such an obvious call. It totally undermines peoples perceptions about the game when you fuck a call this badly.

Because the defenseman went into the blue zone on his own accord and Swayman probably wouldn't have made the save even if Bennett hadn't slightly touched the dude

They took away Tampa's answer goal and series lifeline, then let this sham goal stand. Shameful.

That's the crux of the whole officiating problems....the lack of consistency, which has been going on for years. And that from on-ice (refs) or off-ice (situation room).

I mean doesn't Florida have someone who's dad works for the NHL back office? Who has also admitted to calling refs and saying he didn't like the calls against his kid? Idk he may not be on Florida anymore.

It's nice to see, I'm not the only one thinking this. This is twice this series I've seen a Florida player shove a Bruin into Swayman and it be ruled a good goal, yet they call back not one but two goals on Tampa with the softest excuse of goal tender interference I've ever seen. Shameful.

Toronto officials probably salty the Leaf’s lost lol

It's easy to see how they come to that conclusion. The push is extremely soft, and coyle doesn't even fall the direction he is pushed. Watch the overhead. He is pushed up and right (relative to the camera position), then slowly glides up and left until he bumps Swayman and leans over him.

@@slickshewzhe just came to a stop. Look at the snow from his skate. He was also leaning forward. He got pushed from the lower back. The way he was positioned, it was very easy for him to fall. The shove was 100% enough to cause this.

He already had momentum into his goalie and was not in the process of stopping or turning. It was a light push to help the collision out but it was happening either way. I'd still call interference on this, but it isn't as clear-cut as people are saying.

If there is no push Coyles position is still blocking Swayman. Look where the puck is when Bennet shoots it. Hard to believe but I think this was the right call.

*Anyone watching any playoffs

​@sebastiencarrieres8825 yes, but it has been particularly bad against the Bruins for the past few years. Calls that are on the Bruins that about 50-60% of the time would not be called at all or just called on the other team. Example: Lauko in Game 3. That has never in the history of hockey been called on the offensive player. I usually see a 50-50 split between no penalty and a penalty on the defensive player.

Florida should be the better team, but it hasn't really felt like that. Sure, the shots show otherwise, but shots dont matter, IE, Carolina. Florida repeatedly needs to have something controversial happen with the calls. In this series alone, the penalties are 21 for Boston, and 11 for Florida, 12 of Boston's penalties came over the past 2 games. I bring this up because Florida had 346 more PIM than Boston in the regular season, and 2 minutes off the highest in the league (anaheim with 1108). You can't expect people to believe that Florida suddenly stopped taking that many penalties.

Bruins have had a tough time getting traction, and when they do the refs make sure to take the rug out from that. Its obvious.

This is the NHL. Nobody gets 3/4 of the net in the NHL when these goalies see the play. Of course it was interference.

My only thought is to look at Swaymans left leg. There is no attempt to push off his skate to shift right. It also looks like the defender falls behind him. I think the reason it wasn’t called interference is because it looks like Swayman would not have been able to move right as he never made the attempt before the defender fell towards him.

you make a great point 3 interference calls against boston in the 3rd period were a joke

I mean that is what they said. Swayman would have been unable to make the save (because his teammate spazzed into him). Per the rules Bennett did make contact with him- so the potential for interference is in effect; however, as a result of the embellishment (but not Bennett’s intial contact the goalie was rendered incapable of making the save. The embellishment supersedes the preceding action as the basis of the call.

​@@dannytallmage2971 To call this embellishment is ridiculous.

Exactly. Not to mention that it was a rebound making 69.7 operative.

@@dannytallmage2971 Right, the rule clearly says that if it's a rebound and the defenseman's feet are already in the crease, the forward may push him from behind onto the goalie and score a goal.

Furthermore, the goal will be allowed to stand if the goalie "Probably wouldn't have made the save anyways". All checks out to me. Seems to me this is an under-utilized strategy for sure.

@@perrystewart9884 I’d rather point you to a curves exercise gym. You’ve got three chins too many.

It does not. The rebound rule is for example, a player takes a swipe at a loose puck but misses and contacts the goalies glove inside the crease. In this scenario however, the contact with the goalie was not the result of playing a rebound, but the result of the attacking player deliberately shoving a defending player into the goalie.

Swayman was not trying to play that rebound. He wasn’t even close to the puck

This is not incidental contact

Getting cross checked in the back in the crease is always incidental contact. If youre playing Florida. And it's a post season game

Swayman was not attempting to play the same loose puck that Bennett was. The puck became loose well after Swayman had played it

you are wrong but you dont care about that do you

As a mayflower descendent Boston fan from beacon hill it was an excellent call.

Rule 69.1 Tell me where it requires him to have a chance. Where in the rules of goaltender interference does it require the goaltender to be able to make a save? Was his ability to move freely around the crease impaired? Yes. End of story. Read the fucking rules

well now we all have been told thank you oh great voice of hockey wisdom for giving us the only opinion that matters but you are wrong end of story !! but thanks for the chuckle and keep trying you might get it right someday

No it does not. Nowhere in the rulebook does it say that you can be pushed into your own goalie as long as your feet are already inside the crease...

​@@perrystewart9884 IDK maybe we are watching different videos but i see a defender skating into their own crease with momentum, heading directly toward their goalie, with their left leg directly in the path of their goalies leg (before any contact was made by Bennet) and then getting a light push (something that happens all the time near the crease) and then falling on top of their goalie. I agree that Bennett should be suspended for punching Marchand and I want the Bruins to win but i don't think this call is "disgraceful" it was just a tough one that happened to not go the Bruins way in a close game. Happens to every team in the league.

@@rudydees2478 fair enough. I can agree with everything you said. The problem is, the rules don't take any of that into account as written, which I think is the issue so many are having with the call.

@@perrystewart9884 Agree completely.

only in your brain give it up your team won just admit the truth it was a bad call

Yeah maybe if they weren’t on the pk for 8 of those 14 minutes 😂

@@N1ckeroo the shots going into the 3rd were something like 28-16 Florida. They were in control of the game all night winning most of the puck battles. Boston was praying their goaltending could keep them ahead in the 3rd and decided they didn't have to forcheck or take shots anymore to win. They're just gonna try to trap and stall this game out. Well then florida scored. Their gameplan of not forchecking and waiting for the period to end should have changed at that point but it didn't. Then florida scored again and boston responded by losing every puck battle and taking 0 shots on net.

@@lenkennedy9214 “they were in control all night” it was 2-0 for over half the game LMFAO the refs gave the cats all the momentum.. also, shots don’t have any relevance to the call, would’ve been a 2-1 game

@@N1ckeroo they controlled the play. They had the puck more, took way more shots and won most of the puck battles. They outshot bost something like 14-5 in the 1st and boston was lucky to get out of the first up 2-0 when they were outshot 14-5. They were in control on the scoreboard yes, but not in control on the actual ice they were plwying on. They hoped their goalie could steal another game for them and they wouldn't have to score anymore goals because boston but florida kept playing their game and boston kept being lazy and florida eventually started burying their chances. You gave up 42 shots. Thats not exactly a winning formula. Poor Swayman. He tried to bail you out again. You wouldn't even be in round 2 if he didn't play out of his mind with a .950 save% in round 1.

@@N1ckeroo did they really get 4 powerplays in the final 14 minutes? Are you sure about that? If so one of them was for that failed review. Also didn't boston get 2 late powerplays. 1 in the final minute. And still got 0 shots. Because they don't have very good offense. You need a new #1 center. Tell your GM to sign Stamkos or another elite 1st line center this off season. Charlie Coyle is a 2nd or 3rd line center. No offense.

69.1 Goaltender Interference is when a goalkeeper’s ability to move freely around the crease is impaired. Tell me that his ability to move freely around the crease wasn’t impaired

And so is Marchand. And he is the captain up in ol' Boston.

that god that your wrong opinion doesnt matter but you are so wrong that you could be a ref

The rebound scenario only applies to when the goaltender is trying to play a loose puck. Swayman wasn’t trying to play a loose puck

So you think Swayman is able to magically grow his limb longer and extend it towards the other side while lying in a split? Cool story bro. Also Coyle flopped

​@@tbd3058Yes, he was going that way and could of saved it. The rules don't mention if or maybe the goalie makes the save, so it's interference. The Cross-check caused the player to go into the goalie.

Naww

@@tbd3058rule doesn’t require a save to be possible. Goaltender Interference is when a goaltender’s ability to move freely around the crease is impaired. 69.1

Yep, preferential treatment both rounds so far.

69.1 Nowhere does it require the goaltender having a chance to stop the puck. Goaltender Interference is when a goaltender’s ability to move freely around the crease. Says it very clearly in rule 69.1

It’s 100% a valid goal

@@tbd3058no no it’s not

Tampa had more powerplays in that series

@@scottymascotty8692 Yeah panthers are a dirty team. Pretty much all of the calls against Tampa were for interference or roughing, the calls against Florida were mostly stick infractions like high stick, cross checking, slashing. Tampa had I think 4 important goals called back for goalie interference🤷‍♂

@@scottymascotty8692but they screwed Vegas with the power plays last year too vs Florida as well yeah they won but giving 7 power plays is way to much to bostons 4 they need to do better look at the rangers series the game 3 was decided by a powerplay

@@AmpliphyHD stick infractions are often not dirty.

If he did, that is terrible strategy. There's a good chance of that going the other way.

have you thought that bettman wants a stanley cup parade in miami cause thats what most of canada is thinking except the butt licking ron mcclean
